Yep, that is better.

 feature copyfromrev

 C :72 "trunk/README" "branches/topic/README"

We can peek ahead to make sure

 C :72 branches/topic/README

still copies a file named ":72".

For completeness it probably does make sense to allow

 cat <dataref> <path>

commit.  I just suspect svn-fe would not use it.
